Re: KONA SPECTATING [timryan]

Get there about 6AM. You will see what appears to be an old mission style church/museum about 400 yards past the swim start line. There is a long wall all along the ocean, great to sit on and have a Kona coffee and watch the swim. Then hurry up by Wendy's/ Starbuck's and get a seat in the shade along the road. This is a loooong hill that starts the bike leg. Everyone climbs the hill right out of the water. Great viewing again along with a Starbuck's :~). After the bikers are gone get a bite to eat and walk about 1 mile to the T2 area. Again if you get there early you can get some shade under the roof of a building. You will see it. Also public restorroms there. From there back to the finish line which is right by where you started. Get there early enough and you can get a bleacher seat. It is a great day. I have been there several times. Enjoy the island while you are there too.
Aloha,
Larry

Or sign up as a race day volunteer - I am doing a double shift in T1/T2 starting at 4:30am.
But I think the volunteer signup closed in mid-Sept.

With all the course changes, it would probably be a good idea to print this out and bring it along.

Thanks for the update, I didn't realize they were changing the course (again).

I know that they still need volunteers in the penalty box area, as I received an email this week. The person to contact is:
Robin Wilkerson
Email robin_wilkerson@yahoo.com
Telephone 808-329-7165
Also, if one were interested in volunteering, I would stop by the IM office when you get to Kona and ask them if they still need people.
